  • This superb looking Rickman Metisse Steve McQueen Desert Racer is owned by Cumbrian Twinshock racer Alan Bott. These very unique machines are currently being constructed by Metisse Motorcycles in Farringdon in the UK. This bike is #6 of only 300 bikes that will be built as exact replica's of the iconic movie star's 1960's MK3 Machine.The original bike that McQueen owned back in the 1960's was built by his good friend Bud Ekins who of course was the actual rider that made the fence jump in the Hollywood blockbuster movie The Great Escape.

    My Grandfather bought me a Rickman 125 in the mid 70's for $100. Wish I still had it. It was an head turner.

    Mr. Chris Montignani for a long time I have been following with care all his videos made with sincere passion. All these documents she has made will be part of the story destined to remain in the memory of us passionate and this Metisse is not just history but legend of passion British engineering that you can proudly present to the world.
    (A real jewel of engineering to which even Italy has given, by your choice, a small contribution) From Sanremo (Italy) a sincere thanks for the excellent work she has done for us all.

    I'm not really interested in looking at bikes but I had a blast on one of these yesterday and can tell you it put a huge grin on my face. And for the 'little people' who clearly don't know their bikes, it doesn't have a choke, you tickle the carb to start it.

    I never knew the foot pegs were solid. I always thought they were a folding style of peg.

      Those solid pegs would take a serious lump out of your leg if you laid the bike down.

    After several months of riding through whatever terrain you and that Rickman frame can handle and find the chain has stretched,how do you determine how many links to take out of the chain?
    Or perhaps when the chain gets a bit slack after several hundred miles,the owner would just replace it...

    • @monticlassictv
      @monticlassictv  5 років тому +2

      christoforos pilitsis Good question. . although as far as I am aware none of these Rickman frames ever had chain adjusters as standard fitments which is strange really when every other bike on the planet has them fitted. I assume as you said they just expected you to fit a brand new chain whenever they got worn out. But thanks for the heads up because it had never crossed my mind really initially but I will of course find out why.
